Trinity First Class 

We are excited to have you apart of First Class!  You will find all the documents you need on this site, as they become available! 

Not in the class, but have a desire to know more about what it is?  First Class is for individuals who desire to become members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and of Trinity congregation in Springfield, Missouri.  

It's not only for those individuals who are not yet members!  If you are Lutheran and desire to review your doctrine, if you are just curious or desire to inquire what Lutheran Christians believe, teach, and confess (no obligations, no gimmicks, no strings attached), and for members to bring family, friends, and neighbors who are un-churched this is a great class to come learn and hear the good news!
